You can take Google's Machine Learning Crash Course for free now

#artificialintelligence

Google's new'Machine Learning Crash Course' is now available and it's free for everyone. If robots are coming for your job this class will prepare you for your next one. This same course has been taken by more than 18,000 Google engineers, and this is the first time it's been made available to the general public. According to Google it's free because the world needs to understand AI: We believe that the potential of machine learning is so vast that every technical person should learn machine learning fundamentals. During the class students will watch lectures from Google researchers, participate in interactive visualizations, and complete 40 lessons.


Online Deep Learning: Growing RBM on the fly

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We propose a novel online learning algorithm for Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM), namely, the Online Generative Discriminative Restricted Boltzmann Machine (OGD-RBM), that provides the ability to build and adapt the network architecture of RBM according to the statistics of streaming data. The OGD-RBM is trained in two phases: (1) an online generative phase for unsupervised feature representation at the hidden layer and (2) a discriminative phase for classification. The online generative training begins with zero neurons in the hidden layer, adds and updates the neurons to adapt to statistics of streaming data in a single pass unsupervised manner, resulting in a feature representation best suited to the data. The discriminative phase is based on stochastic gradient descent and associates the represented features to the class labels. We demonstrate the OGD-RBM on a set of multi-category and binary classification problems for data sets having varying degrees of class-imbalance. We first apply the OGD-RBM algorithm on the multi-class MNIST dataset to characterize the network evolution. We demonstrate that the online generative phase converges to a stable, concise network architecture, wherein individual neurons are inherently discriminative to the class labels despite unsupervised training. We then benchmark OGD-RBM performance to other machine learning, neural network and ClassRBM techniques for credit scoring applications using 3 public non-stationary two-class credit datasets with varying degrees of class-imbalance. We report that OGD-RBM improves accuracy by 2.5-3% over batch learning techniques while requiring at least 24%-70% fewer neurons and fewer training samples. This online generative training approach can be extended greedily to multiple layers for training Deep Belief Networks in non-stationary data mining applications without the need for a priori fixed architectures.


Complete Guide to TensorFlow for Deep Learning with Python

@machinelearnbot

Learn how to use Google's Deep Learning Framework โ€“ TensorFlow with Python! Welcome to the Complete Guide to TensorFlow for Deep Learning with Python! This course will guide you through how to use Google's TensorFlow framework to create artificial neural networks for deep learning! This course aims to give you an easy to understand guide to the complexities of Google's TensorFlow framework in a way that is easy to understand. Other courses and tutorials have tended to stay away from pure tensorflow and instead use abstractions that give the user less control.


How to Solve Linear Regression Using Linear Algebra - Machine Learning Mastery

#artificialintelligence

This can be solved directly, although given the presence of the matrix inverse can be numerically challenging or unstable. In order to explore the matrix formulation of linear regression, let's first define a dataset as a context. We will use a simple 2D dataset where the data is easy to visualize as a scatter plot and models are easy to visualize as a line that attempts to fit the data points. The example below defines a 5 2 matrix dataset, splits it into X and y components, and plots the dataset as a scatter plot. Running the example first prints the defined dataset. A scatter plot of the dataset is then created showing that a straight line cannot fit this data exactly.


Google announces free AI lessons, with 'Learn with Google AI'

#artificialintelligence

The site provides ways to learn core Machine Learning (ML) concepts, develop and hone one's ML skills, and apply ML to real-world problems. Technology is shaping the way we live and function. Pacemakers in the heart can fix your heart rate to normal, while cars can throw in recommendations and use computer vision to detect traffic patterns and predict accidents. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the future of computer science, thanks to digital data pattern recognition, which is enabling software to tell humans possible outcomes and scenarios. Taking its increased usage into concern, Google has announced the launch of an AI learning platform, which will be available to anyone willing to learn about the world of software and data.

What can AI do for the future of e-learning?

#artificialintelligence

THE training and development of your workforce is vital to the achievement of digital transformation success for businesses. And today, more and more businesses are leveraging e-learning to educate their employees. The advantages for businesses using online learning platforms as opposed to traditional training methods are bountiful. First, it lowers business costs since one training session can be delivered to multiple people. Second, topics can be broken down into bite-sized chunks, meaning that employees do not need to spend lengthy periods of time away from their desks.


Bitcoin price - latest updates: Cryptocurrency continues gradual climb in value after lull

The Independent - Tech

The value of bitcoin skyrocketed in 2017, and its rapid rise generated huge amounts of interest in it and other types of cryptocurrency. However, bitcoin is notoriously volatile, and a multitude of financial experts have advised people not to get involved, calling it a bubble that could burst at any moment. There are now fears that it already has. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.


AI and the Classroom: Machine Learning in Education

#artificialintelligence

For years schooling has been typified by its aspect of the physical grind on the part of both students and their teachers: teachers cull and prepare educational materials, manually grade students' homework, and provide feedback to the students (and the students' parents) on their learning progress. They may be burdened with an unmanageable number of students, or a wide gulf of varying student learning levels and capabilities in one classroom. Students, on the other hand, have generally been pushed through a "one-size-fits-all" gauntlet of learning, not personalized to their abilities, needs, or learning context. I'm always reminded by this quote by world-renowned education and creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson: "Why is there this assumption that we should educate children simply according to how old they are? It's almost as if the most important thing that children have in common is their date of manufacture."
